We always knew that Lupe Fiasco was mad crazy, but we just didn’t know how crazy he was, until now. Japanese Cartoon is Lupe Fiasco’s ridiculously cool side project (I’m not a fan of those, but for Lupe, I’ll make an exception). Should I say second side project? Does anyone know what happened to CRS?
The self-described Post Punk/Alternative/Indie Japanese Cartoon features a Lupe Fiasco putting on a freaky faux-British accent. This is a fun listen before we get to listen to LupEND. Holler back.
Catch two Japanese Cartoon tracks below:
Japanese Cartoon - ARMY
Japanese Cartoon - Heirplanes
UPDATE: Or what?
Japanese Cartoon’s myspace page has been hacked.
Percival Fats (Born Percival Hindenburg-Fats) Is NOT Lupe Fiasco (Born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco). Although he is a dear friend.
Japanese Cartoon will reload songs onto the player as soon as we figure out how via the technical support fellows at Myspace.
Please DO NOT disseminate their music ILLEGALLY.
These guys have worked very hard and placed a large amount of energy and financial dedication into this project.
Lupe does finance the band but is NOT I REPEAT NOT THE SINGER IN JAPANESE CARTOON. He is however the producer and we value his participation very much.
We will not be taking any friend requests until this security matter is cleared up as we might not be able to keep this page.
-Percival Fats. Friend Of Millions, Foe Of Hacker Punks.
Is it really him? This sounds like right kind of hype Lupe would WANT you to believe… haha.
{ 4 trackbacks }
{ 19 comments… read them below or add one }
Are you kidding me? This sounds JUST LIKE him. He can’t deny it.
This definitely Lupe Fiasco.
btw… Heirplanes fucking rocks my socks
HAHAHAHA
of course its fucking LUPE!! This SCREAMS lupe fiasco. This is why we all love him!
Would anybody care about this new “indie band” if it weren’t for Lupe’s possible link to it?
Hot! This is DEF lupe.
@James: Umm, yes. Take a listen, man… this stuff is dope as hell.
this is good! now that he’s retiring from the rap game, he can have this dope band. a lot better than weezy’s t-wayne side project, no?
lupe can have as many alter egos as he wants (Sasha Fierce, anyone?) as long as its GOOD! ((Sasha Fierce, anyone?))
copped this from another site:

i dont know how i feel about this…
This stuff is legendary!
i heard a movie inspired him to do this? is that for real? I’d like to watch and destroy that movie.
this is way better than the ‘alternative’ music Kanye is making… that’s for sure.
but srsly, where’s LupEND!!
**Heirplanes is REAL NICE**
I’m pretty sure its him. He can’t hide this forever.
It definately is Lupe. Nice tracks but nothing special.
Lupe Fiasco Or Percival Fats Its Good I Like Heirplanes Alot. I Pray That LupEND Will Drop By December As Promised And Hopefully [Child Rebel Soldier] Will Drop Soon In The Meantime I Will Continue To Rotate The Cool
Heirplanes is the ish
Heirplanes reminds me of something from an old skateboarding video - makes me wanna rock my Vision Streetwear. Loving this song!
